*****************************************************************************

The Slider Custom Control program and demo programs and documentation were
developed with:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 8.00c  (Visual C++ 1.52)
Microsoft (R) Segmented Executable Linker Version 5.60.339
Microsoft (R) Windows Resource Compiler Version 3.11
Microsoft (R) Visual Basic Version 3.0
Microsoft (R) Word Version 6.0c

*****************************************************************************

At this point I assume that experienced Visual Basic/C/C++ programmers
have obtained and unpacked the SCENTSLS.ZIP file onto a temporary
directory. I will not assume to know the details of your particular
programming environment, so I will keep these instructions on a
fundamental basis.

First things first, print the SRCENTSL.DOC file.  It contains all the
information needed for you as a programmer to incorporate Slider controls
in your programs.  This is a Microsoft Word Version 6.0 document file.

The SRCENTSL.DLL file should be copied to a directory where DLL files
are accessable on your system, usually the /windows/system directory.
To use the Slider as a Visual Basic Extention(VBX), simply copy or rename
SRCENTSL.DLL to SRCENTSL.VBX

The SRCENTSL.H file should be copied to the directory where the C/C++ compiler
has access to header files.

The SRCENTSL.LIB file should be copied to the directory where the linker
has access to link libraries.

The demonstration programs and their source code are provided as just that.
They are for reference only to demonstrate how to use the Slider
programmer API functions (and C++ Slider Class) with detailed comments.
I would suggest you start with the source code for the demo programs as a
basis for experimenting with incorporating Slider controls in your
programs.

For the Shareware Version:
When the Slider DLL/VBX is first loaded by an application program, a dialog
appears, indicating you have the shareware version of the Slider Custom
Control. Other than that, it is fully functional.

It is my hope that you find the Slider control easy and straight forward
to use, as this is certainly my intention.

*****************************************************************************

You may freely distribute the shareware version of this Slider control,
but only in its original form (ie: the original ZIP file containing all
files as distributed).

Under no circumstances will the author be in any way responsible for any
damages or losses incurred by using the Slider control.
